    Interesting and useful facts:
    1) If you only purchase 5 boards (instead of 10), the shipping cost is lower.
    2) If you use "Panel by EasyEDA", you can fit more boards in one panel (2x5 panel in this case)
    This results in 100 boards (2x5x10) at the price of 2$ !!!

      His SMD soldering ain't that good at all. Try to hold a resistor/capacitor with tweezers in place and then solder one end of it - and you can easily solder another one after that. Same with ICs in QFP, SOT23 and other packages with leads - solder one of them by holding IC in place with tweezers - and you can finish other ones easily. Watching resistor flipping up during soldering in this video is a pain.

    As someone who knows how painful it can be to design, layout, and manufacture PCBs, you made it look really easy! Their software looks very much like Altium only web-based, and a few thousand dollars less too!
    A few tips for soldering SMT components:
    Make sure your Gerber files do not have a solder paste layer if you intend to hand-solder the components rather than a pick and place machine. This will mean your boards are (mostly) flat and free of excess solder which makes it much easier. If there is extra solder from the solder paste or HASL finish, then use solder braid/wick to remove it.
    Soldering SMT capacitors and resistors, apply solder to the PCB on one of the pads of the component and keep the iron on that pad. Using steel needle nose tweezers, slide the component onto the solder pad. Remove the iron and let the solder joint cool. To make sure it is flat to the PCB, rest the tweezers on the top side of the component with very light force and briefly touch the iron to the pad. Then simply solder the other pad.
    ICs are pretty much the same. Apply solder to one pin on the PCB, slide the IC into place with tweezers making sure the other pins line up correctly, remove the iron and let the joint cool. Make sure it is flat against the PCB, then solder the other pins starting with the pin most opposite.
    I find this method more reliable and produces less thermal stress than heat reflow with a hot air gun.
    If you are going to heat reflow after soldering for presentation, try using flux jelly in a syringe from the usual suppliers. It helps for faster reflow and a nice shiny finish. Makes soldering a lot easier for me!
    Hope this helps! Keep up the great work with the entertaining and informative vids :)

  • @lazyh-online4839
    @lazyh-online4839 Před 4 lety +1

    A big thing that helped me building buck/boost converters is knowing the ideal values of the inductor without needing to reference the datasheet each time (especially with general purpose switch controllers that might not have the specifics for inductors). I found an equation online for estimating the required value of the coil in a buck/boost converter, I then plugged this equation into a spreadsheet so if I need to build anything all I need is the input voltage, output voltage, frequency, and max current. This helps save space on the board and money in your pocket rather than going straight for the largest reasonable value. Not a huge savings unless you make a lot of boards but it's still helpful for making good buck/boosts. The value in henrys is L=((vin-vout)*vout)/(vin*Imax*hz*0.35). Thanks again for yet another awesome video Great Scott!

      The traces were probably too small (voltage drop against them)

    • @n3cr0murl0c
      @n3cr0murl0c Před 6 lety +2

      Max Wittelsbach I was thinking on that, but the resistance in the PCB would be that remarkable against the load, but well... Seems logic, increasing the section results and lower resistance, what I was asking is his train of thought, cuz he would look at everything before getting into conduits, only experience would tell you to look there

    Can this be used on 18650 cells too?

    • @greatscottlab
      @greatscottlab  Před 6 lety +16

      +HellFireno88 Yes

    • @HellFireno88
      @HellFireno88 Před 6 lety

      I know. But saying 18650 is a quick way to say li-ion 3.7v cells.

    • @GGigabiteM
      @GGigabiteM Před 6 lety

      NiMh batteries should not be charged with a LiPo battery charger as the method of charging is different.

    • @GGigabiteM
      @GGigabiteM Před 6 lety +1

      It's probably worth a look into NiMH batteries because a good NiMH battery can come very close to a lower capacity LiPo in power density. For what you lose in capacity you gain in safety, as NiMH batteries don't have violent failure modes like LiPo batteries do. They can vent and leak, but they won't explode or catch fire.
      The reason a LiPo charger won't work on a NiMH is because as a NiMH battery is charged to near maximum capacity, its voltage will drop slightly, which can confuse a LiPo charger into thinking the battery needs more current.

    • @GGigabiteM
      @GGigabiteM Před 6 lety

      I do the same with old battery packs to get 18650 cells (and occasionally some weird flat cells), but I'm too lazy to match the capacities of the used cells and usually just end up using them individually or in pairs. Some crap battery packs use crap batteries from the start, or have really bad balancing which ruins the cells.
      I have a pile of dubious 18650s which have nearly no capacity from some of the cheap Chinese battery packs. About the only thing they're good for is using in single cell battery banks with one of those LED USB flashlight things.

  • @MaxintRD
    @MaxintRD Před 6 lety +6

    Hi GreatScott, can you explain what the problem was with the first version of the board? In my last video I made a mini boost converter by putting an MT3608 on an SMD adapter board (see czcams.com/video/K7Lv5FWTX9Y/video.html ). The output current I measured seemed to be quite limited and in my case the capacitors are too small. I also think the small 22uH coil I use is too light for higher loads. Thank you for making your videos. They help me a lot to understand things! +1

    Aren't Li-Po batteries damaged if their voltage decreases below 3.2 V, meaning that your over discharge protection circuit isn't harch enough? :)

    • @chrisakaschulbus4903
      @chrisakaschulbus4903 Před 5 lety

      as far as i know if you don't drain it too long the battery will recover a little... but the opinions, like everywhere, go from "never discharge it below 3,7" to "i discharged the battery to 0 volts and i can still recharge it without problems"... what i've learned is: since it's a bag full of chemicals, you can only test what works best for you and what you are comfortable with

    • @0x8badf00d
      @0x8badf00d Před 5 lety

      Bigclive has a video on it. If you discharge it to 0 V, it'll still work but it won't be as happy anymore. You'd have to reverse charge it to a negative voltage before it shorts internally.
      When you have cells in series, you need to be careful. That's when cells can be reverse charged and cause mayhem when the pack is recharged.

But after watching this video, I think I have the confidence to get my own boards made. Cheers!
